Clinton revels in signs that Dems are coalescing around her

After taking a throat losange to alleviate her sore voice, Clinton said, “I came here because I said I would”.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO is seeking to face the Democratic front-runner Clinton.

Committee members grilled Clinton for hours about the State Department’s handling of terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, in 2012.

The crowd of Democratic women roared at Clinton’s one-liners and red meat throughout her speech.

Supporters who met privately with Clinton before her address said the former secretary of state laughed when they advised her to go home and get a few rest.

Then, in saying goodbye to the crowd, Clinton sprung into a slight curtsy. “As he said the other day, there is more work to do and if I know Joe he’ll be right there with us on the front lines”.

Now that all looks much different. Recent polling out of New Hampshire shows her either even with or running ahead of Sanders. In Iowa, she has about a 9-point lead over him with Biden out of the race. It was a voluntary interview and she wanted it to be in public.

“It perhaps is good politics with the… most intense, extreme part of their base”. Ms. Palmieri said of yesterday’s hearing. But facts are not Fiorina’s strong suit, not when there are ignorant voters to be swayed by her inability to command them. “The worm has turned on this – Republicans are the ones on defense, we’re on offense, ” he said. She says the apparent lack of communication with subordinates suggests one such problem.

“There were probably a number of different motivations” for the attack, Clinton said, describing a time when competing strands of intelligence were being received and no clear picture had emerged. However, it appears that there was no new information discovered regarding the attacks.

Hillary Rodham Clinton took a celebratory lap around Washington on Friday, reveling in signs Democrats are coalescing around her White House candidacy after an 11-hour grilling by House Republicans. Why was the military not ready to respond quickly on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks?

Passing through a human crush of reporters at 10 am Thursday morning, Hillary Clinton entered a hearing room where she displayed a kind of unearthly stamina, as the only witness during a hearing that spanned 11 hours.

The panel’s top Democrat, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, repeatedly clashed with Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, the committee’s chairman, about whether the investigation was politically motivated.
